Yep, that's absolutely the case with Yates County, mostly because the routes I'm missing are in a Y-shape and the fittingly Y-shaped Keuka Lake.

It's official, folks: I've clinched all state highways in the Worst County in New York ™! :sombrero:
That included new mileage on NY 31 and clinches of NY 31E, NY 271, NY 269, and - this is a big one for me - NY 63. More details to follow if/when I get the time to share.

What . . did . . you . . DO ?!!
I just typed "Orleans County NY" in Google Maps, and my PC immediately shut down. Well, actually, Windows shut down but the tower was still powered on. I had to pull the plug and reboot manually. It has never done that before.
What sort of contract with the devil did you make?

I'll keep that part a secret, but just know that it will cumulate with the Objective Case™. :-D :-D

Genesee County, complete! Unlike the previous two completed counties, this one did not result in any new clinched routes, just about 50 miles of new mileage on US 20, NY 5, NY 33 (:nod:), NY 77, and NY 93. I'm close to clinching NY 77, but I'm still missing the southernmost mile as well as the portion I missed today, so that will have to wait for another time. (Also, I could possibly say I've clinched NY 33, but there's a segment near Buffalo airport that I'm not sure I've driven in entirety, which I'm going to remove from TM until I can get a re-clinch.)
I really enjoyed driving NY 77 through the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge. It almost reminds me of parts of the Midwest with how open and remote it is, even much more so than NY 63, which takes a straight, tree-lined course through the refuge.
So, I've officially completed my home county (Monroe) and all adjacent counties. That brings me near the end of completing new counties, since only the aforementioned Yates County remains in range anytime soon. Wyoming County would complete NYSDOT Region 4, but it's unfortunately further away than anything else I've completed and not even half complete since my focus has been elsewhere. I do have two trips in mind that would complete everything east of NY 238/NY 19/NY 19A, and then we'll see about anything beyond that.
